Reform UK leader calls for investigation into donation linked to SBF: Report

The leader of the UK's Reform party has called for an investigation into a political donation linked to former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). This follows reports that UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting received £50,000 in 2022-23 from the think tank "Labour for the Long Term," whose founder allegedly received a £675,000 gift from SBF. Streeting stated he requested a donor list, which did not include SBF's name, and the think tank's founder claimed the funds came from another source. The call for a probe comes as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces his own controversy over crypto-linked donations totaling millions, which he describes as "gifts." The situation highlights potential loopholes in UK political funding laws. In a separate development, a U.S. appeals court upheld SBF's 25-year prison sentence for fraud convictions, leaving him few legal avenues for appeal.

Financial Expert Announces New Phase of Crypto Market Development After Legalization

On August 4th, President Vladimir Putin signed a law establishing a legal framework for cryptocurrency operations in Russia, effective September 1st. According to financial expert Alexander Vinnik, the new legislation fundamentally changes the status of cryptocurrencies by officially recognizing them as property rather than a payment method. This legal recognition allows owners to defend their rights in court and provides clearer operating conditions, potentially attracting cautious investors who previously avoided the market due to regulatory uncertainty. A key development is the entry of major banks planning to create their own crypto platforms, which could make buying digital assets as accessible as traditional investments. However, a significant limitation is that cryptocurrencies cannot be used to pay for goods and services within Russia, which may keep some transactions unofficial. Instead, a primary focus will be on cross-border trade for businesses, where the new rules aim to make international crypto settlements more transparent and secure. Vinnik does not anticipate a sudden surge of investment but expects digital assets to gradually occupy a small niche in investment portfolios alongside other high-risk instruments. The market's future growth will depend on further regulatory expansion and improved access conditions, potentially attracting both institutional and private investors over time.

Putin signs law regulating the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law establishing the legal framework for the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia. The law regulates the issuance, accounting, storage, and exchange of digital currencies and digital financial assets, as well as mining. It imposes specific requirements on operators, including cryptocurrency exchanges, brokers, and trading platforms. Notably, cryptocurrency exchange operations can only be conducted by organizations listed in a special registry, with a transitional period allowing operation without registration until July 1, 2027. Exchanges must maintain a minimum capital of 15 million rubles. The law defines systematic exchange activity as executing two or more transactions per month exceeding 3.5 million rubles in total, requiring such organizations to join a financial market self-regulatory body. Concurrently, a deputy finance minister indicated that non-qualified investors in Russia will soon be permitted to legally purchase major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with an annual investment limit of 300,000 rubles per intermediary.

FBI Agent Stole Millions in Crypto, Ultimately Betrayed by His Own ChatGPT

A former FBI counterintelligence agent, Patrick Steven Yaroch, was arrested on July 31 for stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from a spy suspect's digital wallet he was investigating. The 41-year-old memorized the wallet's seed phrase from FBI databases and transferred the funds over 10-12 transactions into his own account over a year ago. While not discovered by internal audits, his actions were uncovered after he voluntarily confessed to Department of Justice colleagues, citing overwhelming guilt. Investigators later found crucial evidence on his phone, including ChatGPT conversations where he sought advice on retiring early to a Portuguese vineyard with the stolen money. Following his confession, approximately $925,000 was recovered from his Kraken and Suilend accounts and returned to government control. The case highlights vulnerabilities in how law enforcement secures seized crypto assets and the potential for personal digital records to serve as evidence.

A Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) to Be Created for Russian Crypto Exchanges

Russia will establish a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) for digital currency exchange operators. The founding congress is scheduled for September 1st in Moscow. The move is linked to the new "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights" law, passed in July, with key provisions taking effect on September 1, 2026. The Central Bank of Russia stated it is creating a regulated infrastructure for crypto assets, which will include exchanges and digital depositories. Legal expert Andrey Tugarin noted that exchanges face the most practical questions following the law's adoption, as many previously operated in a legal grey area. Key issues include the registration process with the Central Bank, international operations, cryptocurrency storage, and sanctions risks. The proposed SRO aims to serve as a platform for exchanges to consolidate these questions and communicate with regulators. The law provides a transition period until July 1, 2027, for market participants to obtain necessary licenses and comply with the new requirements.

US Department of Justice Files Lawsuit to Recover $47,000 in Cryptocurrency in ATM Fraud Case

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a civil forfeiture complaint seeking $47,461.73111 in USDT (Tether). Prosecutors allege the cryptocurrency was obtained through a fraud scheme where scammers tricked victims, including a Massachusetts woman, into withdrawing cash from their bank accounts and depositing it into crypto ATMs. In this case, the victim followed instructions after seeing a fake tech support pop-up, depositing funds into a Bitcoin Depot ATM. Authorities later traced a portion of the funds to a specific wallet, seized the assets, and linked the address to other victims. This action is part of a broader crackdown on crypto ATM fraud. In response to such scams, which the FBI reports cost Americans over $333 million in 2025, a bipartisan "Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act" has been introduced in Congress. The proposed bill would impose daily and initial deposit limits, mandate fraud warnings, and strengthen anti-money laundering requirements for operators. Regulatory bodies like FinCEN have also increased scrutiny of crypto kiosks. The Massachusetts case follows other recent forfeiture actions, including one targeting approximately $3.4 million in crypto linked to an investment scam and another for about $327,829 connected to a romance fraud scheme. Civil forfeiture allows the government to seize assets and, if successful, potentially return them to identified victims.

Searches conducted in 'Moscow City' in case of embezzlement of 144 million rubles

Searches were conducted at offices of a cryptocurrency exchange network in the "Federation East" tower of Moscow-City as part of an investigation into the theft of 144 million rubles. The victim, a man named Vladimir R., was deceived by criminals posing as Russian FSB officers into transferring the money through a Moscow-based crypto exchange. All exchange points have been temporarily closed, and dozens of people have been detained, with eight already under pre-trial restrictions. Separately, the Russian government on the same day banned cryptocurrency mining in Moscow, the Moscow region, and part of the Kursk region, effective from August 15, 2026, to December 31, 2032. This follows a law passed by the State Duma on July 21 introducing comprehensive regulation for digital currencies and rights. According to this law, starting July 1, 2027, only crypto exchanges and related entities registered in a special state register will be allowed to operate.

Mining Banned in Moscow Region and Parts of Kursk Oblast Until 2032

The Russian government has banned cryptocurrency mining until December 31, 2032, in several regions, including Moscow, the Moscow region, and parts of the Kursk region. The decree, published on July 31, states the ban will take effect in these territories starting August 15. In the Kursk region, the prohibition applies to eight districts and the city of Lgov. This measure amends a previous government resolution from December 2024. The move follows recent comprehensive legislation passed by the State Duma on July 21 to regulate the circulation of digital currencies and digital rights in Russia. The new law establishes rules for depositories, crypto exchanges, and other market participants, who must eventually be included in a special registry. However, a transitional period allows these entities to operate without registration until July 1, 2027.

Myanmar Imposes Life Sentences for Crypto Scams. What is Known

Myanmar's parliament has passed a law against online fraud, introducing the death penalty for offenses such as kidnapping, unlawful detention, and torture to force individuals to work in scam centers. Life imprisonment is the maximum penalty for managing such centers and for conducting cryptocurrency fraud scams. In recent years, Myanmar has become a major hub for online fraud in Asia, with international organizations reporting criminal networks that detain people in enclosed compounds and force them to participate in scams, including fraudulent cryptocurrency investment schemes. Reports from late 2025 indicated a transnational criminal network operating in several Asian countries, recruiting foreigners—including Russians—with false job offers in Thailand. Some Russian citizens, after "online interviews," were invited to Bangkok and then illegally trafficked into Myanmar, bypassing official border controls. In 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on companies in Myanmar and Cambodia linked to these schemes. According to the FBI, losses from cryptocurrency fraud exceeded $11.4 billion last year.

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signs ‘Blockchain Basic Laws’ – What is HB 639 about?

Governor Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire has signed HB 639, known as the "Blockchain Basic Laws." The legislation establishes key protections for digital asset ownership and use. It guarantees individuals the right to self-custody their cryptocurrencies in personal wallets and to use them for payments without government interference. The law also shields operators of blockchain infrastructure—such as node operators, miners, and stakers—from being unfairly regulated as money transmitters or securities dealers. Furthermore, it establishes a specialized "Blockchain Dispute Docket" for handling related legal cases efficiently. This bill builds upon New Hampshire's prior move to create a state-level Bitcoin reserve, collectively positioning the state as a leader in fostering blockchain innovation and business.
